The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence: How AI Can End Discrimination and Make the World a Smarter, Better Place

Today, the Lisbon Council launches The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence: How AI Can End Discrimination and Make the World a Smarter, Better Place, a ground-breaking policy brief that explores the nature of artificial intelligence and proposes a seven-point programme for a successful European policy response. Author Paul Hofheinz, president and co-founder of the Lisbon Council, takes a closer look into how artificial intelligence – if used properly and used well – can hold out the possibility of faster, more efficient and ultimately more ethical decision making than we have now. Published under the rubric of DSM 2.0: Digital Futures Forum, a new centre of excellence led by the Lisbon Council, the paper makes a strong case that the success of artificial intelligence requires a broader, richer definition of the "values" on which our society rests.
